It's a really good machine, but unfortunately I am having problems making it work with Ubuntu 11.04. I am a long-term Linux user, a python developer and a supporter of open source software, I cannot use Windows for my purposes and I need help to enable my video card drivers.

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 on my system, and updated all packages. I then installed the latest Nvidia drivers available, and ensured that Optimus is disabled in the BIOS. After rebooting, nvidia-settings complained that my system wasn't configured to run the drivers and I must run nvidia-xconfig so I did.

After running nvidia-xconfig, my system wouldn't want to run XFree86, and stayed in terminal mode. I checked the xorg log and found this:

Code:

(!!) More than one possible primary device found
(II) Primary Device is:
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
